Men’s Grooming Essentials for Travel, Gym, and Beyond
Life moves fast, and for the modern man, keeping clean, fresh, and put-together shouldn’t slow you down.
From busy mornings at the gym to cross-country business trips or festival weekends, having grooming products that combine efficiency, quality, and portability is no longer an option — it’s a must.
We’ve rounded up three standout men’s grooming essentials that do exactly that — innovative, high-performance solutions designed to keep you looking and feeling your best no matter where life takes you.
From a revolutionary body wash system to pocket-sized body wipes and a repair-focused hand and heel balm, these picks make grooming effortless (and even a little enjoyable).
Here’s what every man on the move needs in his arsenal.
1) Welcome to Bob
We start our list of men’s grooming essentials with a world first. Bob is the only hard refillable body wash system of its kind — and it’s your one-way ticket to a more sophisticated scrub.
Think of all the common inconveniences with your daily rinse: lost shower gel through fingers, sludgy soap dishes, plastic bottles taking over your tub.
Now, picture a wall-mounted, handheld applicator, complete with medical-grade exfoliating bristles and a far superior soap. How dreamy does that sound?
Well, Bob has delivered all that functionality with a 3-in-1 model that’s changing the game for men across the UK.
Tested to last for over 3,700 washes, the applicator is a sturdy addition to your morning routine, dispensing just the right amount of soap with every swirl while offering a deeper cleanse thanks to those bristles.
A leak-proof travel cap allows you to take Bob with you on holidays, work trips, camping excursions, and to the gym, ending empty soap dispenser’s reign of terror.
The soap — otherwise known as Bob Bars — is pH-balanced at 5.5 to match men’s skin, and is formulated with gentle yet nourishing ingredients like beeswax, shea butter, and coconut oil.
Two scents are on offer:
- The Gentleman — a neutral yet deodorising bar that’s understated but no less effective.
- The Morning Man — Bob’s newest inclusion, blending peppermint and lime for a proper wake-up call.
As the final piece of this brilliant puzzle, a wall-mounted applicator keeps Bob suspended upside down between uses, draining away excess water and suds to combat squishy nightmares.
Men’s grooming essentials don’t come smarter than Bob.
Price: £21 for the initial Shower Pack (including the applicator, wall mount, and two Bob Bars)
Refills: £7 for two Bob Bars (£3.50 each)

2) Swypes Body Wipes
Next on our list of men’s grooming essentials is Swypes. When a shower isn’t an option, Swypes steps up.
These premium body wipes are designed for those moments when life moves faster than your hygeine routine — whether that’s a post-gym dash to the office, a long-haul flight, or a sweaty festival day.
Each adult-sized wipe is dual-sided — one exfoliating, one smooth and cooling — and infused with aloe vera, vitamin E, and chamomile to cleanse, hydrate, and refresh your skin without leaving behind any sticky residue.
The soothing formula is gentle enough for daily use but tough enough to handle post-workout grime, commuting sweat, and camping dust.
Swypes are individually wrapped for freshness and portability, making them the ultimate pocket or gym-bag saviour. They’re also biodegradable, so you can freshen up without compromising on sustainability.
As men’s grooming essentials go, few are as versatile as Swypes.
Price: £14.95 for a 15-pack, or £24.95 for a 30-pack

3) Savvy Touch Hand & Heel Balm
When your hands and heels take a daily beating from working, lifting weights, and everything in-between, this 100% natural balm is like armour in a jar.
Packed with high-vitamin A oils — including tamanu, totara, and apricot kernel — plus zinc, biotin, manuka, and lemongrass, it works overtime to both protect and repair.
Whether barbells or life on tools are to blame for your calluses, Savvy Touch’s balm is a saviour for skin that’s cracked, dry, or in need of some TLC.
As soon as it’s applied, it creates a breathable barrier against the elements while supporting natural healing, doubling down on the benefits and earning its spot on our list of men’s grooming essentials.
And remember — less is more. The formula is designed for a silky, not greasy, finish, so you can get the protection you need without slippery hands or sticky socks.
Price: £22.99
